Just a quick post to let you know I am at last back in the land of the living although still extremely tired and have no energy, I am afraid I have no card for you today but just wanted to pop on here to thank you all for the lovely messages you have left for me on my e-mail and facebook. Today I am tyring to make my way through 1466 e-mails, I hope you will bear with me if I do not answer them all as I think that would mean I would be tied to my PC until next week. I never want to go through another 3 weeks like the last but hopefully from here it can only get better.

Thanks again everyone, I promise to try and make a card today so hopefully will see you on here tomorrow.

Sorry this is a bit late, spent all day yesterday and most of last night at the hospital with Mum, she fell out of Bed on the last day I was in the USA, she was taken to the hospital and released the same day, she has been in pain every since I got home and yesterday I rang the Doctor and he arranged for her to be taken back to the hospital where they discovered she had a fractured hip. Anyway she is now staying in hospital and getting the care she needs.

I have some really exciting news to tell you all today, whilst at the CHA I was asked by the lovely Lols and Heidi from Simons Says Stamp Challenge to join the DT, didn’t take any thinking about I immediately said yes and started doing the Happy Dance in the Convention Centre. So here is my first card as a DT member.

Morning Peeps, well what a contrast sitting in a garden in 80 degrees then coming home to 10cms Snow, still it lo0ks very pretty out of the window and all the while I do not have to go out in it I will be happy for it to stay.

Had a fabulous time in California, it was just the best time staying with my Brother, Sister in Law and Nephews, I was spoilt rotten and really found it hard to say goodbye, I have not sorted out my photos yet but once I have a bit of time will do so and post them on here, was taken on trips to Newport Beach, Bilbao Island and the fabulous Laguna Beach, now they are what I think of as the ultimate holiday destinations. Whilst sitting in the garden I was surrounded by the most beautiful Humming Birds, they are so tiny and move so fast and with the weather in the 80’s it felt really exotic. I will certainly go back, hopefully next year.

Had great time at CHA meet some lovely people and made lots of new friends, the Crafters Companion Stands were always busy and Spectrum Noirs were a terrific hit there, didn’t have too much time to mooch around but cannot say I saw much that knocked me out, although the Rangers Stand was inspirational as was Tim Holtzs demonstration, I am defo going to have the new Distress Markers. I was also impressed with the Prima and Bo Bunny Stands. Will give more bulletins when I have sorted my head out, at the moment it is just full of everything I saw and did.

Found it hard to get down to making a card today, but persevered and finished this one. I have used Neenah Classic Card to stamp and colour my image of Tilda with Daisy and the Very Old Magnolia Heart Stamp, I have used Spectrum Noirs to colour the images (colours below).
